Mother Cookie

In her day, Ask The Cool Cookie's mother was client of Joey & Tano in Shaker Heights.  She was also patron of Salon Alberto. 

Now 85, she remembers as a young girl growing up on a rural farm in Ohio and how she would use a small glass of water to wet her finger tips to set her hair before bed (which she shared with her younger sister - a line drawn on the sheet in pencil deliniated the center of the bed that neither was allow to cross) and if this was done in the winter - and the farm house had no electricity in the days before the REA, and thus no central heat - the water in the glass would freeze solid over night.
